Starting over

I'm starting over as well! Add me and we can both get fit together

I am so sorry for your pain and tragedy always is hard to overcome. Exercise, though healthy, isn't mandatory for weight loss. If you are truly ready to restart then do so. Don't put too much pressure on yourself.
Welcome back. Feel free to friend me.

When one door closes another one opens. Take this opportunity as a starting point in all aspects of your life. You have to want to do this! Think positive and positive things will come your way!! Good luck! There is a lot of support here

I'm not going to pretend I know the circumstances of what happened in your life a year ago, but I can certainly sympathize with events happening in life that we can't control that derail any and all progress made toward a healthy weight and lifestyle. I too have had a very rough year and have gained back almost half of what I've lost. I struggle each day to get back on track and some days it just doesn't seem worth the effort. I know it is worth the effort and I know I can do it... but... like you, there's no motivation or desire. If you want to add me as a friend, please feel free to do so. Maybe we can support and motivate each other to get back on track. Take care!

I'm the same!! Mfp working well for me I've lost 8kg in the first month!!

I concur that you will want to seek some professional input. I've had a series of tragic events over the last 5 years and it has taken me years of therapy, meds and finally a new, low stress job to get my head in a good place to work on this weight. Good luck, it does get better.

It really does sound like you're not over this life event yet, and instead of pushing on with your weight loss and exercise, it might be best to go and try to deal with that first. If it's bad enough to provoke such an emotional response when you try ti exercise, it could be worth speaking to a professional about how you can move on.



Take care of yourself, and the weight loss will follow. I really hope it all works out for you

Good advice above. I am sorry for your situation but you are not along in the world it just feels that way today. I know the feeling. I am bipolar and stay on the depressed side. I am also a recovering alcoholic. There are days when getting up and out the door and doing life seem like an impossible task. I have a wonderful wife who understands. My family trys but they just don't get ity. Medication and therapy have helped greatly and I have found groups that fit whatever you are going through are great. You won't feel so alone.

I have managed to put on 100 lbs over probably 10 years and spent the last 10 with various lose 50 gain 60 in between. Now i'm 52 and realize I am going to die young at this weight. Not really sure what is different this time but it feels different and obtainable. I like this site. I don't post much but read a lot for support.

I started back exercising (Stationary bike) last month and quite frankly it sucks. It is really hard to get on that damn thing and get started, but I have made it a priority in my life to get better.

What I do is to put me first as a priority and just hop on that bike every day after work and just do it. Just taking it a day/hour/minute at a time and damn those minutes go by slow sometimes.

Good luck in your journey and remember you are not alone.

You can do it

I too am starting over. I had lost 80lbs a yr in a half ago & now put half of it back on
It all started when my 6 yr old was diagnosed w/Juvenile Diabetes& admitted to the icu for almost a week if that weren't bad enough 6 months later my daughter became ill & was hospitalized for a week w/rsv. To top it all off my mother passed away. So here I am working my way back to feeling great! Life happens & I guess the most important thing to keep in mind is your perception of it all. Best of luck. I will be cheering you on!!!

Count Me In!!! After losing 65 lbs and 118 in 5 years ago. I'm getting back to it after a serious sports injury and gaining some weight back. You're not alone!
